How you know gas is inside the balloon?
If there were nothing inside the balloon - a vacuum - the balloon would quickly collapse due to the pressure of the atmosphere outside it. A firmer structure might resist the air pressure, but not a balloon.
What is the name of creeping plants grown for their edible cylindrical fruits?
One such plant would be a cucumber.
What type of projection conical or cylindrical would show least distortion of central Africa?
Cylindrical , providing the cylinder axis is co-linear with the N/S polar axial line through the centre of the Earth.
If a spaceship on Venus' surface would crumple like a tin can Is it because of gravity?
No. The gravity on Venus would be slightly less than on Earth, about 90% of Earth's.The difference is a much greater atmospheric pressure, which on the surface of Venus is about 92 times the sea-level pressure on Earth. As we see with deep underwater conditions on Earth, this pressure could crush an unreinforced structure with a lower pressure inside. The pressure from Venus's carbon dioxide atmosphere is about the same as the ocean pressure at a depth of 1 kilometer on Earth.
What is the importance of fluid pressure in dams?
Pressure=density*gravity*height In water density and gravity are constant, therefore pressure only changes with height. The dam would need to be thicker at the bottom than at the the top to withstand the higher pressure at the base of the structure.
Why are lighthouses cylindrical?
They are cylindrical so the force of wind and waves is lessened. If the walls were flat they would have much more pressure on them ................ they used to be sploge shaped but that just looked silly
Why cant we use a rectangular piston where in the edges are chamfered?
If you mean in a car engine, it's because an explosion (even a controlled one of the gasoline/petrol being ignited by a spark plug) creates a spherical force. So, the cylindrical piston is the same shape as the explosion, and gets the most efficient pressure distribution. A rectangular piston would get force in the middle, but not the edges, and it would take more force to do the same job. Also, the rectangular piston would wear down faster because of the uneven force being applied.
Why do people use a cylinder paint can instead of a rectangular can of paint?
Probably because there is no rectangular can available. A cylinder is used because it holds pressure equally on all sides. A rectangle would tend to split at the corners.
When graphite is subjected to very high temperature and pressure does it change to a diamond?
Graphite has its own atomic structure of its basic carbon atoms. Subjecting it to very high temperature and pressure would not change its structure. Carbon, when subjected to very high temperature and pressure can be crystallized into diamond structures.
How many vertices does a rectangular prism have?
Did you mean vertices? A rectangular prism would have 8 vertices.
How many flat surfaces does a rectangular has?
A "rectangular" is an adjective, not a noun and so there is no way of knowing what the shape is. It could be a rectangular 2-d shape, a rectangular pyramid, a rectangular prism and they would all have different answers.
What form of matter has no definite shape but has a definite volume?
The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state. A solid constantly has the same shape and volume. A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid. A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes. Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process. A gas has changing shape and volume. Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.
Do the four sides on a rectangular prism have to be equal?
no, they have to unequal if they are equal then it is not a rectangular prism it would be a cube
How is a cube and rectangular prism the same?
A cube is a special case of a rectangular prism. If each edge of a rectangular prism were of the same measure, then it would be a cube.
What shape would an object be in order to travel faster through the air?
Cylindrical
What is a solid figure in which all six faces are rectangles with three pairs of opposite faces that are parallel and congruent?
A cuboid would fit the given ------------------- I would call it a "box", but mathematicians might also call it a rectangular box, a rectangular cuboid, a right cuboid, a rectangular hexahedron, a rectangular parallelepiped, or a right rectangular prism.
Why is LPG stored in spherical tanks?
Because it's stored under pressure, all pressurised gas containers are cylindrical or spherical to eliminate corners which would be the weakest point. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A sphere is a very strong structure. The even distribution of stresses on the sphere's surfaces, both internally and externally, generally means that there are no weak points. That's why a drop of water forms a spherical shape when under free fall, in short, it achieves a shape where all the resultant stresses neutralize when no external force(gravity) is acting on it. Moreover, they have a smaller surface area per unit volume than any other shape of vessel. This means, that the quantity of heat transferred from warmer surroundings to the liquid in the sphere, will be less than that for cylindrical or rectangular storage vessels. Thus less pressurization due to external heat. Bhaumick...
